Photographer's Note

Diver statues in Vaterland Park, Oslo. These sculptures were created by the artist, Ola Enstad. I have never seen these before on TE, so despite the harsh backlight and lack of color and detail I decided to post them anyway. The workshop shows a wider view. Morning might be a better time to photograph these whimsical scuba divers.

Hello Chris,
An unusual and unexpected work of art high above the viewer. The light toned sky leads to some loss of detail in the statues, but I rather like the silhouettes as they are. Well spotted and nicely realised.

Interesting sculptures, and the light, although very strong, creates interesting silhouettes of the divers against these beautiful clouds in the sky! Very nice capture and a great contribution to TE! Well done!

Hello Chris
Interesting picture with this original sculpture of Ola Enstad. The sky divers will soon arrive the earth just missing the water. Harsh backlight but on the other hand a splendid half-clouded sky. I think I couldn’t resist the challenge to photoshop the cable away.
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Hello Chris,
I am surprised that I didn't know of this park which is so centrally located. I am obviously not very familiar with Oslo. In spite of difficult light these original sculptures look very good, having become almost silhouettes against a sky of very nice clouds. The diagonal accent is a clear advantage.
Best regards,
Gert

Good evening.
Interesting view, good text ...
Good work with nice photo in the workshop, beautifully shown sculptures, good contrast and sharpness, nice colors, beautifully captured moment with the clouds. Nice sculptures. Good idea and realization of the artist Ola Enstad.
I wish you a quiet night, all the best.

Hello Chris, a great angle from which to take this shot.
A diagonal presentation works perfectly, as does the cloudy blue sky as the background.
The statues are almost, but not quite, in silhouette, which adds to the intrigue of the installation.
Thanks for sharing, regards Jean.

Hi Chris.
I think 'whimsical' is the right word to describe this sculptured work. Your shot conveys the intrigue very well. There's just enough detail there in the shadowy figures set against the sky. They fill the frame nicely, and the tree and buildings on the sides create a context. Nice work.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Chris
now thats a cool looking subject right! We don't see these on TE very often. and you're right, the lighting may not be ideal for you here but its still very worthy of posting. Reminds me of the crawling baby statues in Prague, crawling up the tower. fun and unique. cheers
